Thomas Anthony Cena Jr

I was impressed at our first consultation and gave Mr. Cena a $2,500 retainer. At our first court hearing the judge ruled that he did not complete the necessay documents so the case was postponed. In the first meeting with my spouse's counsel he provided little support, preferring to let my spouse's ...counsel dictate terms. He communicated sparingly with me over the next two months. Each time I called or met with him I was billed for time including a substantial amount to review the file. After paying $10,000 and suffering through his belittling and condescending tone I fired him and switched to another attorney. The new attorney got me $3,000 in monthly support, one of the two houses, and $100,000. Cena convinced me to accept my spouse's offer of $1,250 a month for support and urged me to settle for $37,500 and no house. During the last negotiation conference Cena did not consider the house, he did not even know that an appraisal was needed for the second house my spouse purchased. Mr. Cena simply wanted to settle the case quickly with little effort on his part and no concern for me (his client). I would not recommend him to handle any divorce case. I believe he is more interested in billing for his services than concern for an equitable settlement for his client. What my new attorney was able to obtain for me supports my concern about his ability. I would also add that he has little to no compassion to deal with divorce cases.
